Community SEED

Science Engagement through Education & Dialogue


Stanford Cancer Institute’s (SCI) Community SEED is an initiative to deliver cancer-related science learning and dialogue that is socially and culturally relevant for the community.

SCI is collaborating with its researchers, the Stanford Health Communication Initiative (SHCI), community partners, and health advocates to create stimulating learning activities such as Science Café.

About Science Café

Science Café is a learning event created for the community. The event is designed to help the general public understand cancer science knowledge and help make the knowledge relevant to personal lives.

We encourage interactive exchange of questions and dialogue between the science experts and community learners. Currently, Science Cafés are hosted on a virtual platform.
